From intimate live performances at weddings and the Sydney Opera House to heartfelt originals crafted behind a piano, Northern Beaches artist Monique Raso has long been making music with meaning. But on May 2nd, she officially stepped into the spotlight with the release of her debut single, “The Scars.”
Rooted in pop, soul and R&B, The Scars is a soaring ballad about courage, healing, and the quiet strength it takes to move forward, especially when the weight of the past is still heavy. It’s a song for the helpers, the survivors, and the moments when we rise, not because we’re unbroken, but because we choose to stand anyway.
“This song is about honouring the people who help you soar when you don’t know how,” says Raso.
Backed by rich, emotive vocals and heartfelt piano, The Scars delivers a message that’s as raw as it is universal: your story, your journey, scars and all, is worth singing about.
A compelling debut from an artist with both depth and vulnerability, The Scars is available now across all streaming platforms.
